Enhancement requests and feature question
... or I just do not know how to do it.
1. Currently if I have /opt/jdk1.5.0_1 and /opt/jdk1.5.0._2 installed and I create a link
ln -s /op/jdk1.5.0_1 jdk1.5
than I expect that in project structure if I choose my JDK path to be /opt/jdk1.5 than I mean this. Not /opt/jdk1.5.0_1 . The problem is that IDEA is trying to be smarter and is pointing to real directory regardless of my suggestions to use symbolic link. This means that I cant just switch between JDKs by changing the link. I would like to have such ability. IDEA should just detect the change on start and re-parse the JDK jars.
2. I have no clue how can I exclude single file. In Modules > Sources I can exclude eny directory I wish and this is great but I would like to exclude some files also.
And on the end something I believe there is somewhere but I am not able to find it. In previous versions there was a switch which allows me to check in to the CVS so after that file was read-only. Right now I see this only if I create new project, but I do not see it in any CVS setting. If someone knows where it is located please show me where is it.
Best regards

you can explude specific files from compilation by
- for a file that does not compile : in the make window, right click on the file> remove from compile
- for any file : project settings> compiler> manually add files in the exclude from compile list
I can't help for the other 2 questions :)
One (ugly?) solution would be to change the pathes manually in the corresponding config file (${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea60/config/options/jdk.table.xml) while IDEA isn't running.

Settings->Project Settings->Version Control->Configure->Use read-only flag
for not edited files
Carlos, thanks for answer
I thought that this is this, but I have it checked and the files are not changing to "read only".
Should I file a bug report?

I don't use readonly files, so don't know if it works or not. It lloks like
a bug, so you should probably file a bug report.
